Videos show a driving instructor giving lessons to a girl with Tourette's - which went viral and made her a movie star.

Andrea Bisset, 23, is seen learning to drive with Nicky Lu - who is patient but can't help but giggle as she bursts out with expletives.

In the footage Nicky is seen teaching Andrea how to drive - but her condition means she regularly swears.

The videos have been praised for showing the relationship between the pair - as Nicky can't help but laugh but be patient with his student.

Andrea displays some of the condition's most severe symptoms, including corprolalia - involuntary swearing as a form of tic.

She began taking driving lessons from the Airdrie in Scotland teacher - and quickly went viral after Nicky posted clips of the lessons online.

During lessons, Andrea makes involuntary comments about passers by, noting "bus w*nkers" or "f*cking pedestrians," with her tics getting worse in stressful situations."

She even calls him a 'fat b*astard' as she gets in the car.

Nicky was initially concerned about posting the footage for fear of backlash.

But the clips quickly garnered attention online, racking up over 2 million likes on his TikTok page.

Thanks to her openness about her condition, Andrea was also approached to star in new film 'I Swear'.

It follows the true story of John Davidson, one of the first Scots to begin raising awareness about Tourette's.

Nicky said: "I'd been doing social media videos for a little while before Andrea."

"Andrea was happy to do it. For the first few lessons, nothing really happened, but then one day her tics became quite apparent."

"The video that I put on my social media, I showed her, and she was happy for me to put it up. "

"It took off from there - everyone's reactions were quite good and positive."

"I was quite worried about how it might be perceived but everyone was very positive about the videos."

"It must be a difficult condition to deal with."

"At the time we were doing lessons, most of her tics were verbal - but she's been dealing with this for a long time. "

"If the tics did get bad, Andrea knew when to pull in for five minutes until she could get on top of it."

"If the tics did get really bad, she wouldn't come out for a lesson. She took her time and it worked out."

The videos attracted the attention of 'I Swear' producer Kirk Jones, who pushed for Andrea to be cast as Lucy in the film - a teenager with Tourette's who meets John Davidson through her parents.

While Andrea put her driving lessons on hold to deal with filming, after the film's release, her family rented the local cinema for a screening for friends and family.

Nicky attended with his own family - and says he couldn't be prouder of the work Andrea is doing.

"I was delighted for her - she really deserved it," said Nicky."

"She does a lot of work in her community for younger kids with Tourette's, so it was good to see that get recognised."

"I was really happy for her."

"The day it came out, Andrea and her family booked a private screening in Coatbridge, and me and my wife were lucky enough to be invited along."

"It was fantastic - John Davidson did so much work raising awareness of Tourette's, and I feel like Andrea is following in his footsteps."

Andrea said she had no idea how the videos would be perceived and originally let Nicky post them for a 'laugh' - but was stunned by the reaction.

She said: "I just thought if some people find it funny and others may reach out that would be good. I also wanted to show that people with Tourette's could learn to drive and offer a bit of hope."

"There was a bit of a mixed reaction generally but I ever thought it would reach I Swear."

"I thought it would just be a video for the town I lived in and was shocked it reached such a wide audience."

"The director's wife Cindy saw the video while they were casting I Swear. She showed it to her husband and I was then contacted by Kirk and told they were going to get me in the movie."

"It all just snowballed from there but was a wonderful experience. The whole thing has been so good - but getting to meet John (Davidson) was the highlight "

"Travelling to London and then hearing him talk was definitely a surreal moment."

On learning to drive with Tourette's, Andrea added: "I did not find it too challenging."

"I was 21 when I started and before then my tics were so intense it was not safe. So it was about picking the time and making sure I had clearance from DVLA that it was appropriate. "

"Probably the biggest impact it has had on me is with my social interaction. People who don't know you can make comments in the street. They don't understand what is going on and it is just a lack of understanding."

"Since the film came out there seems to be a bit more of an understanding of Tourette's. People don't screw up their faces as much or question why is this person swearing or moving like this."

"It was a wonderful thing to be a part of and was all because I posted about learning to drive."
